JULY 29 to AUGUST 2, 2012
 

 An International Conference associated
with The American Chemical Society Division
of Biochemical Technology
 

“Sustainability” is the theme for RXV.  Sustainability and sustainable development, according to the report of the Brundtland Commission of the United Nations on 20 March 1987 is “… development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”  Sustainability has economic, environmental and social dimensions.  In the context of the downstream processing of biological products, sustainability can be thought of in terms of process carbon, water and energy footprints, input/product mass indexes, environmental indexes and social dimensions and indicators and even more broadly in terms of waste reduction in the process development process itself and affordably satisfying global product demand.  In parallel with this overarching theme, RXV will feature the latest scientific and engineering developments and thinking in the downstream processing of biologicals from the global biotechnology industry and academia, industrial case studies, and connections between process development and process/product regulation.
